Pazza-studio blog: The lantern Festival in PingXi Taiwan

The lantern Festival in PingXi Taiwan

The lantern festival is held very year in Taiwan in several places. The small village of PinXi, near Taipei is one of the annual places to hold the event. Hundreds of people go there to set off a traditiona​l flying lantern after writing their wish on the outside. 200 are set off every 20 minutes, if you get there early you can get a free lantern to light. The event was well organized with free buses going back and forth taking people from Taipei to Pingxi as the roads are blocked off. There is also an old coal mine open to visitors. Ping Xi is surrounded with trails to hike up and a beautiful waterfall. Well worth a visit any time. There is a train that goes there from Taipei main station.

Woodworking and crafts are becoming more and more popular in Taiwan. There are many workshops opening up offering wood working courses and craft workshops around Taiwan. This series of photographs were shot for a couple, KK and Yaway in HsinZhu on their opening day. They built the house and the furniture themselves all from reclaimed wood.
